Chapter 94: Went Outside But (3)

Very carefully, Hawathat it could be a trick, she kept her guard up, but the mud monster didn’t move at all She looked back afterward, dumbfounded by what had transpired between the monster and Chi-Woo

‘How did those two…?’ Haondered, but decided to not think too deeply about the matter

Once he was left alone with thethis, the mud azes burned with feelings that neither of them could explain Both had saved each other’s life once; Chi-Woo did it because he considered the mud monster a worthy opponent the likes of which he would be unlikely to encounter another time, and the mud monster did it because it couldn’t let its opponent die so foolishly Both wanted to finish their opponents with their own hands!

With their hearts aligned, Chi-Woo and theIt was a pro individuals, and there was no need for them to say more Chi-Woo arched his back and knees to lower his stance The battleground of thewithout corners However, Chi-Woo didn’t necessarily think he was at a disadvantage because he had formed a contract with La Bella The mud monster beckoned Chi-Woo to coive as good as he got

‘I will pierce through it’ His spiritual energy raged and flowed toward his two legs, and with a hearty shout, Chi-Woo flew to the left, propelling hi speed However, his opponent was a h it had been weakened by the significant passage of tilory days It iht onto Chi-Woo’s trajectory and blocked his path

Two ar, ‘I won’t let you pass While corners slow ht path’

Chi-Woo smirked As soon as he was blocked, he pivoted to the opposite direction and kicked off the floor, shooting to the right like a ray of light, but the mud monster intercepted Chi-Woo quite easily Still, Chi-Woo didn’t panic He kneould be no easy task going past this monster anyways, and in fact, he would’ve been disappointed if it had failed to stop him

It would be a battle of speed and endurance froain before quickly going right He o past the defense, and when he added spiritual energy on top of that, it appeared as if there were two Chi-Woos However, the mud monster was no easy opponent

If Chi-Woo was a swift forward, the h his speed was a bit lacking, Chi-Wooany unnecessary movements And yet he was intercepted every tiress; thehiain The two changed directions at frightening speed without attacking That was how much focus this battle of speed required that there was absolutely no roo past it

In the meantime, Haatched the two from afar quietly and blinked hard in surprise Chi-Woo and the mud monster looked like the natives when they danced around a ca passionately—but of course, the two of the it at an inhu what the hell these tere doing and why they were doing it, but seeing how serious the atmosphere seeht before, it seerossed in their oorld

After so it had been—Chi-Woo’s forehead was covered in droplets of sweat It was the sa down its body

“Will you be alright?” Chi-Woo said without stopping hisspeed”

He got a snort in return It was as if the h Aren’t you the one who is breathing too heavily now?’

Chi-Woo laughed but felt a sense of regret since he had a sinking feeling that the intense and passionate fight was co to its end, which was made evident by the way the mud monster’s body size appeared to have shrunk a little It th it had preserved up to this point, thinking this would be its last battle

“Won’t you stop?” Chi-Woo suddenly asked,the mud monster flinch for a s here and leaving with me?”

The monster raised its head

“You must also know in your heart,” Chi-Woo continued when thelook “That your ood and bad joined hands to destroy perfect neutrality, La Bella made a sanctuary in a deep, hidden place to protect her followers Fearing La Bella’s second coood and evil created an existence—aout of their sanctuary

“Thousands of years have passed since then, or is it tens of thousands of years?” The monster was the product of all those accumulated years “I don’t know the reason, but the followers of La Bella froet out of their sanctuary in the end Thus, you have already completed your otten for a very long tione that it’s considered ancientthe hed and continued, “What I h’?”

“All lives are equal Every being has the right to live their own life after birth” As the French philosopher, Jean-Paul Satre had said, ‘Existence precedes essence “It’s not too late Since you’ve been living for a purpose forced on you until now after going above and beyond the mission, lead the rest of your life however you like”

The mud monster made a clear response this time

“If you don’t knohat to do froht s else to do, maybe you could followaffected by his words, and in a battle going as quickly and intensely as this, the

Chi-Woo didn’t think he was cowardly The mud monster would have to own up to the fact that it had faltered and revealed its weakness due to its inability to ignore Chi-Woo’s words Although he had not intended to distract it with the spiel, Chi-Woo had the right to exploit its et past it, that would ht finally help free it from the chains that had bound it to this place in the first place Thus, Chi-Woo spurted with no hesitation Recollecting itself, the mud monster hurriedly chased after hied directions

Boom!

The air exploded, and Chi-Woo shot past the mud monster The monster turned around reflexively and blankly stared as Chi-Woo drifted far away from it It was too late for it to chase after him now

[…No]

No, it wasn’t over yet Not yet Chi-Woo’s words had triggered so inside the e Like Chi-Woo said, the mud monster had lived in this cave for tens of thousands of years At first, its purpose had been to stop La Bella’s followers fro their sanctuary, but after all the followers had died, it waited quietly while trying to conserve th—so patiently and obediently…like an idiot

Thus, the lad when it found a huh there had been a very long hiatus, its long wait had finally paid off The mud monster had been absorbed in its sense of duty fro related to La Bella

However, the ed after it was saved by Chi-Woo It was still shocked when it recalled what had happened The otten so frustrated at Chi-Woo that it even forgot about its mission and recklessly chased after him, and before it realized it, it had already fallen into an area under the sanctuary’s influence After waiting for thousands of years, it would meet its demise because of a moment of carelessness It was too pathetic for it to accept, and the led to survive It had been sure that it was going to die like that until Chi-Woo lifted it up and dragged it back to the upper floor

[Don’t misunderstand I didn’t save you because I like you]
